Junk The Superman Vs Batman Movie Pick Up The Graphic Novels Instead
If you’ve read the iconic graphic novel ‘The Dark Knight Returns’ you think you know that the climax of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is promising. An epic battle between two beloved superheroes because they want the same thing, but can’t agree on how to achieve it. Batman v Superman opens promisingly. We get the traditional Batman origin story, this time in director Zack Snyder’s now familiar slow motion style. Cut to the battle between Superman and General Zod (that was the ending of Man of Steel) and Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) is reduced to a hapless bystander who watches his employees die while two god-like beings battle it out in Metropolis.
But this version of Bruce Wayne hasn’t really hung up the cape. He’s still hunting bad guys on the streets in search of a mysterious villain, with a twist. He’s way meaner, branding criminals with Bat signs just to mark them for further punishment.
Meanwhile, Superman (Henry Cavill) is still the do-gooder superhero who’s always there to save everyone in trouble, especially his girlfriend Lois Lane (Amy Adams). However, this time the world isn’t fawning over him. Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) wants to make a ‘deterrent’ against Superman in case he ever goes rogue, and gets the US government to help him.
